Zucchini Noodle Salad with Chicken

A simple yet refreshing and crunchy salad, try this Zucchini noodle salad with chicken recipe. This salad is one to prepare when you’re short of time and need a quick lunch or side for your dinner.

Zucchini Noodle Salad recipe with Chicken

What’s good about this dish is that everything tastes so fresh, crispy, and best served chilly.

For protein, I chose chicken breast for its tender white and juicy meat, though shrimp, pork, or tofu would work for more variation. Zucchini can be eaten raw, but still, 5 minutes quick saute would help bring out the natural sweetness.

The whole thing is then seasoned with a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, and lemon juice. Though due to the different levels of saltiness, it’s better to adjust the quantity to your taste.
